Adjustable eyewear, lenses and frames

Abstract

Embodiments provided herein may comprise eyewear such as spectacle frames, eyeglasses, lens housings, etc. that may move (or otherwise adjust a position) such that the lenses of the eyewear move relative to a wearer's eye. The movement of the frames may be such that one or more optical zones of the lenses are positioned in front of a wearer's eye (or in a more operable viewing position). Embodiments may comprise a movable member that may be utilized to adjust the position of the lens, as well as various mechanisms for adjusting the position of the movable member.

         131 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the mechanism is configured to adjust the position of the movable member using both a pull force and a push force. 
     
     
         132 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the mechanism is configured to continuously adjust the position of the movable member between the first position and the second position. 
     
     
         133 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the mechanism is configured to adjust the position of the movable member to a third position that is located between the first and the second position. 
     
     
         134 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the mechanism is configured to adjust the position of the movable member while the eyewear is worn by a wearer. 
     
     
         135 . The eyewear of  claim 130 ,
 wherein the mechanism comprises an actuator, and   wherein the actuator is configured to adjust the position of the movable member between the first and the second positions.   
     
     
         136 . The eyewear of  claim 135 , wherein the actuator comprises one or more micro-motors or micro-pumps. 
     
     
         137 . The eyewear of  claim 135 , wherein the actuator further comprises at least two of:
 a sensing mechanism configured to receive a signal to drive the movable member;   a controller configured to receive a signal from the sensing mechanism and to determine whether to adjust the position of the movable member; and   a power source.   
     
     
         138 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the lens comprises a progressive addition lens. 
     
     
         139 . The eyewear of  claim 138 , wherein the lens comprises a progressive addition surface. 
     
     
         140 . The eyewear of  claim 138 , wherein the progressive addition surface comprises a short channel or a long channel. 
     
     
         141 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the lens comprises at least two optical zones having different optical powers. 
     
     
         142 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the lens comprises exactly three optical zones having different optical powers. 
     
     
         143 . The eyewear of  claim 130 , wherein the lens comprises five or more optical zones having different optical powers. 
     
     
         144 . The eyewear of  claim 130 ,
 wherein the mechanism comprises one or more fluid holding elements coupled to the first temple, the second temple, or the lens housing; and   wherein the position of the movable member is based at least in part on the amount of fluid disposed within the fluid holding element.   
     
     
         145 . The eyewear of  claim 144 , wherein the movable member moves from the first position to the second position based on the removal of fluid from the fluid holding element. 
     
     
         146 . The eyewear of  claim 145 , wherein the movable member moves from the second position to the first position based on the application of fluid to the fluid holding element. 
     
     
         147 . The eyewear of  claim 144 ,
 wherein the mechanism comprises a first actuator, and   wherein the first actuator is configured to apply or remove fluid from the fluid holding element.   
     
     
         148 . The eyewear of  claim 147 , wherein the actuator and/or the fluid holding element is operatively coupled to the movable member by one or more plastic tubes. 
     
     
         149 . The eyewear of  claim 148 , wherein the one or more tubes are disposed at least partially within the lens housing. 
     
     
         150 . Eyewear comprising:
 a lens housing;   a first temple and a second temple coupled to the lens housing;   a lens supported by the lens housing;   a fluid holding element integrally coupled to the lens housing, the first temple, or the second temple; and   a movable member coupled to the lens housing, the first temple, or the second temple;
 wherein the movable member is configured to move between a first position and a second position based at least in part on an amount of fluid disposed within the fluid holding element; and 
 wherein a position of the lens is based at least in part on the position of the movable member. 
   
     
     
         151 . Eyewear comprising:
 a lens housing;   a first temple and a second temple coupled to the lens housing;   a lens supported by the lens housing;   a movable member coupled to the lens housing, the first temple, or the second temple, wherein the movable member is configured to move between a first position and a second position, and wherein a position of the lens is based at least in part on the position of the movable member; and   a mechanism adapted to adjust the position of the movable member, wherein the mechanism is integrally coupled to the first or the second temple.
